Yoga teacher, Positive Psychology coach, and founder and Creative Director of Yeotown. Also impatient in long queues at the farmers' market and devoted to a lie-in.

I was born in Ottawa, Canada, and have spent most of my life studying creative movement as a form of self-expression and self-realisation. After school I moved to California for university, and that's where I first found yoga, while also working in the music and film industry.
As my practice deepened, I moved gradually into teaching. I studied with teachers around the world, including a 500 hour training with Shiva Rea, and Vinyasa Flow became my primary method. A survivor of the oversaturated Los Angeles yoga scene, I've always believed in making my way through life with humour and laughter, and my classes and coaching are no exception.
Living in London, I became one of the UK's leading Vinyasa Flow teachers, with private clients and popular group classes at triyoga. I've led yoga and surf retreats, teacher trainings and masterclasses around the world, and have been featured on ITV1 and BBC Radio and in Tatler, The Sunday Times, Harper's Bazaar, Yoga Journal, OM Magazine and Yoga Magazine.
I'm an E-RYT 500, and hold a Diploma in Coaching from the University of Cambridge and a certification in Applied Positive Psychology Coaching. I bring that science into every class, building on what's strong rather than focusing on what's wrong.
In 2010 my husband Simon and I co-founded Yeotown in North Devon, a haven of health dedicated to sustainable, balanced living. In 2018 we brought Yeotown to London with our restaurants at Inhabit, now in Bayswater and Paddington. In 2022 we opened Yeotown Madeira in Arco da Calheta, on the sunny side of the island.
I divide my time between Devon, Madeira and London with Simon, our two girls, and a great deal of love from my crazy, funny sisters, doting parents, wonderful friends and passionate students.
The grass isn't greener on the other side. There is no other side, only the inside, and the grass is always greenest where we water it.
